Hello Tim,

While trying to install DBD1.15 with the Oracle 9i client in a Linux machine, we are facing some issues.

The following is the error we encountered:
Using Oracle in /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0
Oracle version 9.2.0 (9.200)

        Unable to locate an oracle.mk, proc.mk or other suitable *.mk
        file in your Oracle installation. (I looked in
        /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/lib/oracle.mk /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/demo/oracle.mk /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/otrace/demo/atmoci.mk /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/precomp/demo/proc/proc.mk /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/precomp/demo/proc/demo_proc.mk /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/proc/lib/proc.mk /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/proc16/lib/proc16.mk)

        The oracle.mk (or demo_rdbms.mk) file is part of the Oracle
        RDBMS product. The proc.mk (or demo_proc.mk) file is part of
        the Oracle Pro*C product. You need to build DBD::Oracle on a
        system which has one of these Oracle components installed.
        (Other *.mk files such as the env_*.mk files will not work.)

        In the unlikely event that a suitable *.mk file is installed
        somewhere non-standard you can specify where it is using the -m option:
                perl Makefile.PL -m /path/to/your.mk

        See README.clients for more information and some alternatives.

We contacted Oracle support for these /mk files & had a reply that they no longer support these .mk files.
 
Kindly throw some light as to how we should proceed, as it is very critical for us.

P.S: These modules were working fine with Oracle 8.1.7

Thanks & Regards,
Priya
